    New Addition To The Family :)

    A few of you may remember this post: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/the-prospect-of-parenthood Well, I am very happy to say, everything worked out brilliantly. Since I made that post, my girlfriend and I have moved in together, various parents and relatives have calmed down, and life...

    J. Barber B Line...

    So, I've been lusting after a straight billiard for weeks now, and finally decided to treat myself to one. Being in the UK, the vast majority of online tobacconists are a bit of a pain for me (or, very long delivery times, at least!), so I ordered from a UK based one. One in particular (who...

    Stumbled Upon This: Passive Smoking...

    Browsing Reddit, I happened across an interesting article/blog from the Telegraph site: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100251229/passive-smoking-another-of-the-nanny-states-big-lies/?fb Passive smoking probably doesn't cause cancer. Of course, the whole issue is one gigantic...

    The Prospect Of Parenthood.

    I don't post here too often (but, getting better!). I don't know if I'm looking for help, advice, or (more likely) just a place to vent. So, my girlfriend is pregnant. Definitely mine, and most certainly unplanned! I'm probably going to be a dad in about six or seven months. We've spent the...

    TAD! And AAD?

    So, as an early Christmas present to myself, I ordered in a few little goodies. A couple of tins I've not tried before, a shiny new pipe case, and a couple of those rubber mouth bits. So, less talk, more pics. I've had a 5g sampler of the Mac Baron, but as a ribbon cut. These are my first...

    Convince Me To Buy A Falcon

    So, I seem to hear a fair bit of praise for Falcon pipes, I guess quite a few of you smoke them (or at least own them?). But, I've always avoided them like the plague, mostly because I don't like the way they look, with that daft metal stem. But, of course, I stumbled across the Falcon...

    That First "Proper" Smoke...

    This is mostly a thank you to all you guys on this forum. An awful lot of great advice, links and knowledge around for new pipe smokers like myself. Tonight, I finally managed a proper pipe. No packing too tight, blowing huge clouds of smoke and seemingly endless relights for a change! A very...

    Peterson PAD...

    So, I popped into my local (ish) B&M to pick up a couple of tins of tobacco. I've finally smoked my way through the horde of samplers I ordered a couple of weeks ago now, and settled on Dunhill EMP and Pete' Connoisseurs Choice. Somehow, I ended up walking out with a rather nice Pete' Donegal...

    TAD has set in... Samplers!

    Well... In an effort to broaden my tobacco horizons, and try out a few blends from the more mainstream (?) brands, I went on a bit of a sampler binge. Eight 5g baggies turned up this morning! I seem to have gone overboard on the Peterson blends, but I'm sure the next batch won't be so bad...

    I Think I'm Getting The Hang Of This Pipe Business...

    Obviously still shiny and new, with plenty to learn and lots to try. But this evening was a good one... Managed to pack a decent bowl, a nice tobacco and even got it lit properly for a change! A quiet evening watching some bats hunt over the garden, enjoying a pipe. I could get used to...
